It’s hard to believe that the first month of 2012 is nearly over already. With the semester underway, February is already shaping up to be a busy month in the Diederich College. Here are some of our featured events happening over the next few weeks:

Event begins at 5:30 p.m. in the jPad lounge. Free pizza, t-shirts and game tickets for our students (half price admission for staff and faculty).

Mission Week (February 19-24, 2012) Every year, Marquette University celebrates the identity and Jesuit traditions through this week of reflection. This year’s theme is “Who is My Neighbor,” which challenges the campus community to learn more about the people living around us.
